Mike Epps is in negotiations to reprise his role of Black Doug in “The Hangover 3” for Warner Bros.
Todd Phillips is back to direct with original cast members Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis set to return. Legendary will co-finance the pic with WB.
Plot details are being kept under wraps. Warners plans to release the pic on May 24, 2013.
Phillips co-wrote the script with Craig Mazin. Phillips and Daniel Goldberg will produce with Legendary’s Thomas Tull exec producing.
In the original “Hangover,” Epps played the drug dealer Black Doug who is mistaken for the group’s missing friend Doug and kidnapped by a gangster played by Ken Jeong.
ICM- and Niles Kirschner-repped Epps, who was last seen in “Jumping the Broom” and “35 and Ticking,” will next be seen in Screen Gems’ “Sparkle.”
